Abstract
This paper discusses the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, which is one of the most important primary source documents for Medieval European history. The writer describes the conglomerate form of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle and its content, and explains how it sheds significant light on the development of England, told from the perspective of the people that could loosely be called the first English nationals.

From the Paper
"The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle is one of the most important primary source documents for Medieval European history still largely intact. While, in fact, the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle is actually a series of chronicles loosely associated with one another, the collected work is generally studied as a whole. Though it is perhaps not as well known outside of academic circles as some other medieval documents, the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle is a crucial component of our full historical understanding of medieval Europe."

Abstract
This paper discusses, analyzes and compares two poems from the Anglo-Saxon era. The poems include "The Wife's Lament" and "Wulf and Eadwacer". Each piece of literature is representative of society and culture more than five thousand years ago. Both poems are written from a narrative perspective of a woman mourning the absence of her husband. The poems also depict how woman were owned, controlled and repressed."

From the Paper
"Around the third century, three Germanic tribes -- the Angles, the Saxons, and the Jutes -- migrated from other areas of Europe to England as part of a general movement of Germanic peoples who conquered much of Europe, including Rome itself (Gordon 111). During that time, the Celts (or Britons) inhabited England, and they continued to be the dominant people in Scotland and Ireland for several years to come (Harris 205). After the invasion of England, the Anglo-Saxons became the dominant people in the country. They brought along their Anglo-Saxon language (i.e., Old English) and a strong literary tradition that included oral poetry, which was spoken or sung. The Anglo-Saxon Era began in 450 A.D. and ended around 1066 AD (Harris 204)."

Abstract
In this article, the writer studies the status of Anglo-Saxon women after 1066, by examining the book ''Women in Anglo-Saxon England and the Impact of 1066' by Christine Fell. The writer notes that 1066 was the year that William the Conqueror took control of Saxon England and that Anglo-Saxon England was never to be the same, nor was the life of England's daughters, wives, and mothers. The writer points out that while before different kings held feudal sway over their territories, now the Norman code of conduct, custom, and law ruled the land with absolute authority. The writer discusses that in the book 'Women in Anglo- Saxon England and the Impact of 1066', medieval scholar Catherine Fell suggests that Anglo-Saxon women after the conquest did not simply lose many of the rights, legal, and social respect they had enjoyed as Englishwomen, but simply as women in general.

From the Paper
"The first sections of Christine Fell's scholarly work are filled with exact details of life during the era to substantiate her point. She draws from contemporary accounts and existing records to examine the law and custom regarding marriage and women's legal status. For example, Anglo-Saxon marriage contracts between families were considerably more equitable than the types of relationships contracted under Norman feudalism and were celebrated in the Norman literary tradition of chivalric romance. Although marriages were contracted between the relatives of the wife and husband neither the prospective bride nor groom had more influence in the matter because of gender."

Abstract
This paper examines the content of "The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle" as a primary historical source for the creation of English and England. It shows how the work of historian Venerable Bede documents England prior to the "Chronicle" and details religious and cultural life in that era, while the Chronicle focuses on the broader historical scale of war. It also focuses on the linguistic significance of the "Chronicle" the first important piece of English prose.

From the paper:

"One of the most important aspects of 'The Angle-Saxon Chronicle' is that it is the first continuous national history of any western people in their own language. Written down by a succession of generations of scribes, 'The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle' covers such fundamentally important events in the history of early England as the migration of the Saxon war-lords, the results of the Romanization of Britain, the onslaught of the Vikings, the Norman Conquest and on the reign of Stephen."

Abstract
This paper examines the content and significance of the "Anglo-Saxon Chronicle." It begins by discussing in general about the "Anglo-Saxon Chronicle" and provides some basic background information about the document. The paper then closely examines a few key figures from the "Chronicles", such as Canute the Great, Harold Harefoot and Edward III. The paper illustrates the way that the document presents key information about events and individuals in the medieval history of England and Europe.

From the Paper
"The value of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle to historians of medieval Europe is nearly innumerable. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle provides a clear record of the major events that occurred in England from the time it was first written in the late 9th century until the 12th century AD. In addition, the authors traced back events to the birth of Christ, providing a comprehensive history of England and her people, written by the first people who could be historically called English. Scholars of medieval history can utilize this text to provide a fuller understanding of the lives and events that shaped the historical development of England and Europe."

Abstract
This paper discusses the fact that the Anglo-Saxons reused Roman buildings over the time period from the 5th century to the 8th century in the Upper Thames Valley in Great Britain. The paper investigates the towns in this area and analyzes the reasons why some of the towns were brought back to use, whereas others were not. It also examines the manner in which the buildings were reused, the process of change over time and the differences between the reuse of housing as compared to public buildings. Finally, it provides a conclusion drawn from the research.

Conclusion and Analysis

From the Paper
"Past studies have implied that these Roman ruins were important to medieval builders simply as cheap and convenient sources of stone. Building materials were selected according to their qualities and availabilities, and in some instances, because of particular qualities. In many cases, however, the functionality of particular material overrode the aesthetic qualities and durability of a particular material. Research indicates that a building stone used initially because of particular aesthetic qualities may be reused at a later date purely for convenience and necessity. An additional value to the examination of building materials, where it can be shown they are reused is that the presence of reused materials may indicate the presence of archaeological sites that are currently unknown (Windsor, 2004).

Abstract
This article examines how Anglo Saxon Protestant core values promote political unity and cultural homogeneity in American society. The writer discusses tensions caused by multiculturalism in the American society.

From the Paper
"United States culture and society are the product of historical and ongoing immigration characterizing the U.S. as multicultural. A democracy and pluralistic society, the U.S. is also characterized by the core values of a dominant class of white Anglo Saxon men. This class uses its significant wealth and political power to reinforce through various institutions. For centuries, political unity and cultural homogeneity were the norm in the United States. However, due to an increasing number of ... "

Abstract
This paper investigates the nature of the unheroic in classic tales from the Anglo- Saxon period in English literature. Of note are the saga of "King Arthur" and of "Beowulf", which are discussed in respect to the unheroic characters that are manifest in both works. This paper demonstrates that the unheroic character is not the opposite of a heroic character, but rather embodies qualities that are separate from those of a hero. In demonstrating this argument, it is shown that for a character to embody "unheroic" traits that they need not be villains but rather are a different type of character altogether.

Abstract
This paper examines the role of William the Conqueror in the "Anglo- Saxon Chronicles". William the Conqueror was foretold in the Chronicles by omens and his impact on the country of England was extremely negative in respect to social controls.

Abstract
This paper compares and contrasts the German, Japanese and Anglo Saxon (USA) management and culture. Areas that are used for comparison include national and organizational culture, the economy, organizational aims, management styles, employment practices, approaches to promotion and other businesses and institutions. Arguments as to which style is the most successful are also provided.

From the Paper
"Companies, like countries have identifiable cultures. An organizational culture is the combination of shared values and beliefs of members of organizations and is affected by the cultures of society. There are three main cultures and styles of management including Anglo-Saxon, which incorporates the Unites States and Great Britain, Japanese and German. Each culture has its preferred ways of co-coordinating and controlling. Culture influences a company's behavior, linking different jobs, rules and procedures. Organizational culture can undergo change. Schein (1992) believes that only statements can be made about elements of culture and not culture in its entirety due to the complexity of the issue."
